I'm confused??? Your amazon link took me to a Toyota Landcruiser carburetor.. It's definitely a progressive 2 bbl model.. Description says manual choke but the pictures show an electric choke stove..

If you actually have that carburetor, you'll need an adaptor plate to install it.. But --- You say the replacement carburetor bolted directly to the stock manifold?? I suspect the carburetor in the link is not the replacement you have..

Under any event, if the locator pins at the end of the exhaust manifold have been replaced with bolts, and you're retaining the stock exhaust manifold, You'll need to put those pins back in place.. Or the manifold will crack from the heat cycles.. Because of the "bolt together" design of the intake and exhaust manifolds, there is a trick to getting every thing lined up prior to tightening the manifold to head bolts.. If the procedure isn't adhered to, you WILL HAVE leaks -- both on the intake side and exhaust side...
